BOSTON - How your arm is positioned when you get your blood pressure checked can make a big difference in the reading, a new study says. The proper or gold standard way to measure someone's blood pressure is to have them rest their arm on a desk with the middle of the blood pressure...
Materials and Methods: It is a quaziexperimental study that compares effect of different positions of limbs on blood pressure of hypertensive patients. The sample size was consisted of 100 hypertensive patients. A questionnaire and a check list for systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the ...
During blood pressure (BP) measurement, the recommended positioning of the cuff bladder center is directly above the brachial artery. We investigated the relevance of incorrect cuff positioning during (1) auscultatory measurement with an appropriate or i
This study attempts to determine the relative contribution of blood pressure at different life stages across the early-life course from infancy to young
In some clinical scenarios, described in the section Findings and Their Clinical Significance, additional measurements are necessary, including those of the legs or opposite arm or measurements taken with the patient in different positions.

This device is noteworthy for accurately measuring blood pressure, even in individuals with irregular heart rates. It combines readings taken at different times to provide the most reliable results. Moreover, it holds FDA clearance, ensuring consistent and dependable outcomes. The BP2 serves as a ...
Supine and sitting systolic blood pressures were not different, but they were different from standing blood pressure ( P < 0.0001). The mean of all three positions (overall blood pressure) was 146 ± 15 96 ± 7 mm Hg. Supine, sitting, standing, and overall diastolic blood pressure means ...
A comparison of blood pressure readings taken while people held their arms three different ways — leaning on a surface, resting on the lap or hanging by the side of the body — showed certain positions could lead to a significant increase in systolic pressure, the upper number in a blood ...
